Faith Leaders Sign Letter Opposing Anti-‘Sanctuary’ Immigration Bill

More than 300 faith leaders have called on Kentucky legislators to stop advancing a bill that would ban agencies, cities and public employees from adopting so-called “sanctuary” immigration policies.

Ryan Eller, a pastor at Thomas Jefferson Unitarian Church in Louisville, said that the bill banning sanctuary policies sends a bad message to all immigrants.

“It’s kind of hard to see how this bill would not lead inevitably to racial profiling and discrimination if it’s put into law,” Eller said.
